Tangerine Tango

This cute little asterisk mini quilt is my entry

 for the Tangerine Tango Challenge on Flickr.

One of my college roommates LOVED orange . . . I can still picture her in one of her many orange sweatshirts!And I never really liked it until I started quilting.But now I LOVE the brightness and energy that the color orange gives to quilts!

I did an all over pebble quilting design in the white spaces,

to make the colors pop.

I love the texture created by pebble quilting!

This mini quilt is actually a pillow -- 

for the back I used this bright "good earth" print

by Alexander Henry--

lots of the tangerine shade of orange in this print!

Linking up to Finish it up Friday at crazymomquilts!
